[The Maxwell Edison Story]

That was a dark masterpiece

I read a lot of the negative reviews given to this flash and it's all about that it's sick and morbid. However that is the whole point. It's a music video for a tongue-in-cheek song documenting the events of Maxwell Edison's murder spree. It's great dark humour, reminds me a lot of the works of Jhonen Vasquez, e.g. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. This video was well done, graphics were cute and very fitting for the mood of the song. This compelled me to download the song so I salute you on a job well done.

I didn't really like it.

It just seemed like one big cliché. The storyline has been way over-used. Also the graphics weren't great, they were really badly proportioned, even for anime. I do like anime but it seems whenever an anime music video is posted on NG it almost automatically gets frontpage. I can give any critisism about the music other than i just don't like U2.

[Jhonny the..well you know]

that's pretty good.

I liked that. Good fan work, although there were things i didn't feel were completely correct (in my mind anyway). Nny's voice sounds too stereotypey, your normal serial killer voice, from reading the comic i think he'd have a gentler more intelligent sounding voice rather than a gruff murderer voice. Also the techno-ish music sounds not so great. Something more classical i think would work better for Nny (Ode to Joy maybe ^_^). But apart from my critisisms, it's a really good flash. keep up the good work.

Beautiful.

This is a really nice flash. It is so beautiful. It's such a difference from most of the other flashes. The graphics are brilliant and the message is deep. You are a great animator. keep it going Joanime.
P.S. Your bit on "The Matrix Still Has You" had me in stitches.
